Works
Mark's works are traditionally the following:
- (1) of the spiritual law,
- (2) Concerning those who think to be justified through works (both ascetic treatises for monks);
- (3) of penitence;
- (4) of baptism;
- (5) To Nicholas on refraining from anger and lust;
- (6) Disputation against a scholar (against appearing to civil courts and on celibacy);
- (7) Consultation of the mind with its own soul (reproaches that he makes Adam, Satan, and other men responsible for his sins instead of himself);
- (8) on fasting and humility;
- (9) on Melchisedek (against people who think that Melchisedek was an apparition of the Word of God).
All the above works are named and described in the "Myrobiblion" and are published in Gallandi's collection. To them must be added:
- (10) Against the Nestorians (a treatise against that heresy arranged without order).
Of these (8) is now considered spurious.

Famous quotes containing the word works:
“They commonly celebrate those beaches only which have a hotel on them, not those which have a humane house alone. But I wished to see that seashore where man’s works are wrecks; to put up at the true Atlantic House, where the ocean is land-lord as well as sea-lord, and comes ashore without a wharf for the landing; where the crumbling land is the only invalid, or at best is but dry land, and that is all you can say of it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The discovery of Pennsylvania’s coal and iron was the deathblow to Allaire. The works were moved to Pennsylvania so hurriedly that for years pianos and the larger pieces of furniture stood in the deserted houses.”
—For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“All his works might well enough be embraced under the title of one of them, a good specimen brick, “On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and the Heroic in History.” Of this department he is the Chief Professor in the World’s University, and even leaves Plutarch behind.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
